Chamber Talk Features Sara Martindale of Fairfield Public Library
The latest Chamber Talk episode features Sara Martindale sharing an exciting preview of the Fairfield Public Library’s packed summer schedule for children, teens, and families.
During the conversation, Sara highlights this year’s “Plant a Seed, Read” summer reading program, which includes interactive activities, reading rewards, special performances, STEM programming, gaming events, outdoor adventures, and creative community experiences designed to keep kids engaged all summer long.
The episode also introduces several new additions for 2026, including the Independence Day Parade Bike Brigade, the “Quest for Quackers” after-hours library event, the Goblin Market trading sessions, and a variety of educational partnerships with local organizations and presenters. Families can also look forward to special guests like magician Michaela Oz, Blank Park Zoo, Jefferson County Conservation, Farm Bureau educator Haley, and many more throughout the summer.
Sara also explains how the library’s summer reading challenge helps students avoid the “summer slide” while making reading fun through prizes, books, raffles, and hands-on experiences for readers of all ages.
